Someone changed something in the options of the game? file was not posted again.

I saved it, and attach here.

No need for edits, same combat results.

I am sorry everyone for doing UK out of turn.  Soulblighter was having computer problems and then I didn’t hear anything from hi for a few days and I didn’t now when he would be back.  I just wanted to keep the game moving along.  We had been discussing what UK should do by private message and I thought I did what he wanted to do.  I knew he wanted to hit Ethiopia and he also had said something about taking Persia.  I calculated that the odds at Ethiopia were pretty good with 6 units plus the cruiser bombard, but I it turns out that he wanted to send all 6 there instead of Persia.  Anyway the dice went bad.  Sorry.  I won’t do it again.  :oops:

I was having trouble posting with that file too.  not sure why.

I am glad this has self resolved.

If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.  And good luck with the computer SB, let me know if you are still having problems.

It is fine. I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did. I should have responded earlier. Laptop still being repaired. Hope it can be fixed and hope it will be fixed soon.

You were right to be mad.  I was out of line.  Sorry.

You can do what we do: send images of the map through wassap, both for opponent´s end turn map and your CM and NCM, no room for mistakes there and such a delay as the one you are proposing could be avoided.

This game needs to start back up, or have an update.

Else, it will get visitors.

Hey!! It seems that we can play…

What is it?

Hmmm, you are testing our benevolence.

You may be aware of what we plan doing with our German planes after what we did with Italy, and 111 is a location that we could reach with a lot of German planes that now may be needed for other targets remaining in the Med.

No issue with Pacific move, allthough nobody ussually accepts Edits after posting, as there is no way you are using Italian information from it.

@variance:

OK Rubioton gets the $1 bonus for Japan.

I think Soulblighter and I have agreed on this bid:
1 sub in z98
1 sub in z91
1 infantry in Alexandria
1 infantry in British Guiana

Ok gentlemen, let�s get this kicked off.

We are assuming usual fair play rules:

Edits accepted for: NCM prior to next opponent move, casualty selection when no dice or other combats info is involved on that change, Triple A bug correction.

Other requests like low luck rerolls or other kind of edits like purchase changes would be accepted only with the consent of the opponent.

Defense Casualty selection and scramble decisions taken by attacker when “logical” in order to speed up the game, requested to opponent in other case. If the “logical” decision is not shared by opponent afterwards, forum dice can be launched to correct it or even the turn can be repeated (very unusual)

We will post german combat move for your scramble decision review in a few minutes.

I never agreed to this b.t.w…

Don´t you think you should have stated that before starting the game??

After 1 month waiting got you, this is a bit…

I am not testing anything. UK was supposed to be my move to begin with. The situation is complicated enough as it is. I do not see how information regarding the italian turn could have influenced this ncm request. Also you are overestimating the Italians. There is no way Italy could have cleared more then what they did in their turn. Sure you could have tried, but you would have risked a lot more as well.

There is a influence in the move, but edit the other BB also if you wish.
